Whether it s live-streamed or in real life, there is an art to being a good attendee, writes Ruth Spencer
How to stand out without asking a cringeworthy question There are two ways to quietly stand out at an author talk. One is to be a superfan: if the author has merch, wear it prominently. If the author doesn t have merch, make your own. A T-shirt of the latest book cover is good, and you can sell them in the car park later; a tattoo of the author riding a dolphin is even better. Tweet a pic of the tattoo in advance, tagging not the author but the host of the talk. Hosts love to put authors in positions both flattering and awkward and they may even ask you to come to the stage.
